ABOUT

How do we make work sustainable and pleasurable?

Linda Wardal is a contemporary choreographer and dance artist living in Sweden. She is currently studying a MA in Choreography at Stockholm University of the Arts. With a BA in contemporary dance and pedagogics from the Norwegian College of Dance she has been teaching at the University of Maputo (Mocambique) , at Högskolan för Scen och Musik (Göteborg) and at Teater Phantastisk, a working place adjusted for people with neurodiverse bodies and needs.

Dance is a motor, a continues power, a way of dealing with conditions and circumstances, dreams and realities.

I'm a believer in reciprocal utopias.

I make my own work as well as cooperation with others.

How do we make work sustainable and pleasurable? I think that is one of the most important questions, not just in arts, but in general.
